I would like to add a center support to these rails. Is it possible to add this part aftermarket? Are there pre-drilled holes for this purpose?

I measured and had 3 wood slats cut at Lowe's. There are no holes for center support.

No, I d not belive they are pre-drilled (though i didn't install them myself). We did, however, add bed slats.

Yes, but make sure to tighten the side hex bolts before you tighten the top bolts on the crossbars. This makes it easier to get them centered. It will also ensure a more snug fit on the rails.

There is a center support but it was very weak. We ended up going to Home Depot for slats that were thicker and screwed them into the frame on the inside rails and also used the center support they provided.

Im sure you could make it work. These rails have several holes where you can place a bolt. Depends on the spacing of the holes though. May not line up quite right.

Hey Harrel, Amazon sent me your question to see if I could help. I am just a customer, like yourself, that bought the board as a replacement. We had a metal, spring type stand and the board went on that just fine. If I remember correctly, the holes that we needed were 12" center to center. The board is a nice board with pre-drilled holes and all the hardware was included. hope this helps. Rob

I put them on the slats. My bed did not have a center support rail. You should be good with them on either.

We had ours installed and he did install it with addtional supports but I not sure what they were or where he added them. Sorry I could not be of more help. I can tell you it looks good and hopefully we will get some use out of it next year.

I don't know what those rails are but I was able to mount the hitch under my 5th wheel using the standard rails available for 5th wheel hitches. I hauled a big horse trailer with a forward camper from Indiana to the trade show at Columbus OH with no issues.

I didn't pre-drill but I did screw the rails into the frame. The reason being, the only thing holding the rails in place would be the weight of the bed. They would eventually move around on you and wouldn't support the mattress properly as intended.

Yes. The front, back and both side rails can be slid and tightened down in any location required. There are slotted holes as well. The only way it would not work for you is if your mounting holes on the sides or front and back are not in a straight line with the corosponding hole on that same side. Even then I think you could improvise something that would work.

My grandson (a mechanic) installed my side rails and he told me the rails were predrilled to install. It took him less than an hour to install to two side rails and four splash guards. Splash guards might need some minor drilling.

Good Question. I got the 3 hole. Pretty sure that is what you would need. By the way. Do buy from optics planet for that rail. Call up Samson themselves. If you go through Optics Planet.com It will take about 2 to three months to get it.

I not using on rail so i can't answer your question. However, if you are looking for solid piece, you might want to look somewhere else.

You can remove the pins with a punch. The rail includes hex screws to replace the pins and the holes in the rail are threaded. Installation instructions are included also, its a pretty quick mod to make.

You should buy the extension which is the direct fit for this product....all rails are somewhat different and you are much better off doing it right the first time ratherthan trying to rig it up...not worth the hassle, & you will be eventually ordering it anyways...

It does not have any holes in the 6 o'clock position for the rails. You could just drill some. It does have some drilled on the sides though. Haven't tried it, but it looks like if you do put a rail the hardware would hit the barrel every time you pump the rifle.
